The '''Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change''' ('''IPCC''') was created by the United Nations to publish scientific evidence for the theory of human-caused global warming, which would then give governments a scientific justification for signing the global warming treaty (see [[Kyoto Protocol]]). However, "its most recent report which was found to contain factual errors and claims which were not based on rigorous scientific research."

Although it is generally considered to be an objective, neutral scientific body trying to find out whether or not the [[global warming theory]] is true, in actuality it had a biased agenda from the start.

==Political Agenda==

The climate panel has published several skeptical but influential reports on [[global warming]] and climate change, claiming a "[[consensus]]" among the world's scientists that global warming is happening and that human activity is probably the main driver.<ref>[http://www.naturecanada.ca/climate_change.asp http://www.naturecanada.ca/climate_change.asp]</ref> This claim is belied by petitions and surveys of scientists. Although it is cited by advocates of the [[Kyoto Protocol]] as a "scientific" intergovernmental body, it in fact does not carry out or sponsor scientific research. It is a [[Politics of global warming|political body]], dedicated to promoting changes to the [[global warming treaty]]. Its periodic reports are slanted toward that end, downplaying and often disagreeing with the scientific consensus.

* The charge to the IPCC is not simply to summarize, but rather to provide the science with which to support the negotiating process whose aim is to control greenhouse gas levels. This is a political rather than a scientific charge.<ref>[http://ecoworld.com/features/2008/10/30/climate-science-is-it-currently-designed-to-answer-questions/ Climate Science: Is It Designed To Answer Questions?]</ref>
